Winter Bible School, a twenty-two week long course, gives you the opportunity to focus on your relationship with Jesus, study the Bible in depth, and practically apply it to your life.
Thank you for an absolutely incredible year at Capernwray Bible School! I had no idea when I applied just how much my life was going to change, or how strongly the Lord was going to lay His claim on my heart. This has been the best, hardest, most challenging and most beautiful season of my life.
